A drunken man, who was very
evidently badly frightened, attemp-
ted to force his way into Col. Bridg-
mans residence on the evening of
the Fourth of July. His screams for
help from imaginary pursuers gath
cred a crowd, and he was hustled off
to the lookup by w. S. Dean, with
some assistance. He looked upon
Mr.. Dean his protector and seemed
highly thankful for the kindness
shown him in putting him in safe
quarters.

The Fourth of July passed off qui.
city enough this year in Sank Centre
and had the day been Sunday there
would have been scarcely violation
of the civil Sabbath law. Business
was quite generally suspended, and
aside from an occasional feeble bang
produced by the small boy with a
fire cracker, quiet reigned supreme,
Everybody helped celebrate else
where. There were a few rock cts
and Roman candles visible in the
evening, but not enough to attract
crowd at any point. The supply of
fire crackers was exhausted early,
and the evening was quiet. A good
sized balloon was sent up by w. A.
Gates in the early evening from his
residence. 1t shot upward several
hundred feet as straight us an arrow,
remained suspended several minutes
and descended within half block,
alighting on tie roof of Mrs. How's
barn, where it took fire and burned
up. The atmosphere but reflected
the spirit of the -day-perfectly quiet.

a Miraculous ESCAPE.

Yesterday afternoon horse belonging to
Charles GRAHAM, became frightened near the
head Of Maple street and started to run
away When about half way down the
street he ran upon the sidewalk and jumped
over the stone wall into what used to be the
cellar of Browns sugar house. In the mean
time the driver, finding that he could not
manage the horse, had jumped from the jig
ger, which was loaded with erockery- ware
from the pottery of Swasey. Lamson & Co..
and escaped without injury. When the
horse went over the wall both shafts were
broken but the harness, being strong held
him fast and there he hung, head down, sew
eral feet from the bottom of the cellar, (which
is about twelve or fourteen feet deep at the
place where the frightened animal jumped
in. The harness was cut and the horse fell
to the bottom on number of small granite
blocks. After getting the horse out of the
cellar not a scratch or a bruise could be
found upon him and in no way did he appear
to be injured. A crowd soon gathered about
the place of the accident and the expressions
of establishment at the horses miraculous
escape from injury were numerous on all
sides. The only damage done was the break
Ing of the shaft.

Dyspepsia in any form is terrible disease,
but to suffer with it so had as to be confined

bed, is something to ponder on. W. ~
Thompson of Lewiston, Maine, was taken
about IL years ago with an acute form Oh IN
digestion. He paid no attention TO IL az hrst,
thinking it would pass away. He continued
to grow worse, however, and It soon settieu
into chronic Dyspepsia in its worst form'
his stomach in the pit was so tender ne couid
not lay the weight of his hand upon IL, ana
the contents of his stomach would 1erment'
causing heated full feeling, with Deicnlng
of gas and sourness. The heart palpitated
very badly, and the bowels were much con-
stpated. He lost in flesh and gradually run
down until about seven years ago ne could DO
nothing whatever, and since then ne has
been confined to his house and bed, having
given up every hope of ever being any better,
and in fact, as he expressed 1t, waiting Tor
death to take me. The friends OF Mr.
Thompson had been reading of the remark
able cures that are daily being performed by
DR.. Fritz, the Magnetic Physician, at Con-
gress Hall, and finally induced him into
making one more trial for health. After
much trouble they succeeded in moving him
to Portland. DR.. Fritz at once told him his
case was durable, and he was treated before
| leaving the room. The first treatment re-
viyed and rested him SO he could walk to
some friends in the city. And strange as it
may seem, he now, after Eve treatments, is a
well man and looking for employment He
can eat anything, without distress, and is
fast regaining his old time weight DR..

silk, caught up with orange blossoms. She
carried bouquet of lilies of the valley. At
ter them came the ushers. For Miss Brown
